Incidents of fuel hoarding have increased across Bangladesh, prompting government action to prevent artificial shortages. Authorities have launched strict enforcement drives, leading to the detection and punishment of those storing large quantities of fuel illegally. In Sherpur, a mobile court fined a trader for storing 18,000 liters of diesel in a residential building without environmental clearance. In Jamalpur, police seized 3,010 liters of petrol and arrested 11 people for black-market sales, filing a case against 17 suspects.
In Chuadanga, officials reported no real fuel shortage but noted that panic buying by consumers fearing price hikes has intensified. Filling stations are struggling to manage the surge in demand, with daily sales rising significantly. In Gazipur’s Kapasia, a trader was fined for selling fuel above the government-fixed price, while in Tangail’s Sakhipur, two traders received five-day jail terms for illegal fuel storage and sales.
Officials stated that monitoring will continue to stabilize market prices and prevent exploitation of consumers through overpricing or hoarding.
